Hmm, in this case it means the update is not ready for your mom :) Her account might be on a server that didn’t got the update yet.
You can wait, or you can follow the old guide, that will enable the timeline: How To Get The New Facebook Timeline Now!

hey so ive tried many ways to get timeline but i dont see the green button thats says “get timeline now” but my cousin logged in her FB and went to timeline nd saw the green button, im wondering is it because i just made my FB on sunday or is it true that they only allowed certain people to have it?

It’s not about certain people. Facebook has a lot of servers, and i think because you made yours recently you are on a server that doesn’t have the new update.
In this case you have to use the old guide: How to Enable Facebook Timeline – old version

I don’t know if you people are retarted or just plain stupid whatthe whole lot of us it trying to tell you is that there is no DAMN green button on the timeline page get it NO GREEN BUTTON!!!!
Yes tried different browsers yes tried different computers even tried without internet security yes made sure my operating system is up to date but STILL NO GREEN BOTTON THAT SAY GET TIMELINE NOW!!!! Hope now you can understand tried to use plain English!

I understand your frustration my friend, but I don’t work for Facebook ;) It’s not about your browser or system or internet security. If this guide doesn’t work for you and neither does the old one ( http://www.vectorash.ro/enable-facebook-timeline/ ) than you are just out of luck.

You might have to wait until the Facebook Timeline update rolls out to your account also. You’re not really missing anything..

I have the same problem. I go to a friend’s timeline’s and there is no “get timeline” button, only “learn more”. Same goes for the introducting timeline page. I can read about it the timeline on the intro page but no “get timeline” button. My spouse has a account and had no problems getting the timeline. I guess the timeline is not available to all users yet.

All my friends have got timeline and I think it’s brilliant. I’m sooo p*****d off I can’t find the magic green button. I’ve just joinedf FB and it’s so time consuming to set up everything just si, I really don’t want to do it twice.

Hey, all new users have been facing with this problem. Of course Facebook gave no official explanation or help. But I can imagine they want to ensure that active users will get the new timeline format. That’s why new users don’t have it yet.

I can’t give you an exact time frame, the only thing you can do is wait a bit (more) and you will get the pesky new timeline :)

It seems that Facebook timeline isn’t activated for the new Facebook users, especially if the account is there for at least a week, or when a new Facebook account is just created moments ago. Still cannot see the Get timeline green button.

I had to log out of fb while soon after i clicked on the ‘get timeline now’ that was displayed on my of my friends fb probile, so i couldnt publish it. but whenever i log into my account, i can see the timeline but my friends still see my old profile. i cant find the ‘publish now’ button anywhere although i can edit my cover photo and everything. please Help! (ps. its bn almost 7 days now)
